Walking into class Naruto noticed right away how quiet everyone was being usually they acted out and talked loudly while some would be fighting amongst themselves, looking around as he sat down he spotted the reason everyone was so calm. Sitting in the back of the room was Ino Yamanaka wearing dark clothes instead of the cheerful colors that she usually wore, but what had everyone's attention was the scar under her eye which had an eye patch over it. Seeing the eye patch covering Ino's eye Naruto glanced around at the others in the class and saw how they kept glancing back at Ino while whispering to each other. Getting ready to implement a part of his plan Naruto went to get up and talk to Ino only to sit back down when Iruka there sensei walked in and said, "Alright everyone settle down now as I'm sure you all noticed Sakura Haruno is no longer amongst us, last night she was found in a warehouse trapped in a jigsaw trap dead. I will not be answering any questions as the information on what happened is considered classified by the hokage."

Looking his students over he noticed that they looked disappointed not to have any details on what had happened to Sakura. Clearing his throat he said, "Good now onto team placements."

"Team one will be…."

"Team seven will be Sasuke Uchiha, Ino Yamanaka, and Naruto Uzumaki with Kakashi Hatake as your sensei."

"Team eight will be Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame with Kurenai Yuhi as your sensei."

"Team nine is still in circulation so team ten will be Chouji Akamichi, Shikamaru Nara, and Ami Hisagaru with Asuma Sarutobi as your sensei."

"Now that's done with, your sensei's should be here in any minute so just sit back and relax." Iruka said as he got up and left the classroom.

A couple of minutes after he left two people came into the class the first was a dark haired man with a beard and a cigarette in his mouth. The second was a red eyed brunet who said, "Team eight with me."

"Team ten follow me," the sensei of team ten said as he followed team eight and there sensei out.

Watching as both teams and there sensei's left Naruto looked around seeing that the only ones left in the classroom was himself, Ino, and Sasuke. Getting up from his seat Naruto walked over to Ino and sat down next to her and asked, "Are you okay Ino?"

"Huh what was that Naruto?" she asked in reply as she was snapped out of her thoughts.

"I said are you okay?" he said repeating what he had just asked.

"I'm fine Naruto can you just leave me alone?" Ino asked sounding depressed.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure," she replied.

"Alright Ino," he told her as he sat back in silence while waiting for their sensei.

Twenty minutes later and their sensei had finally showed up, he had tall gravity defying grey hair, a jounin outfit on, a mask covering his lower face, and a head band covering one eye. Looking his students over he said, "Team seven meet me on the roof," before vanishing in a puff of smoke.

Five minutes later Naruto, Ino, and Sasuke arrived onto the academy roof top and sat down before their new sensei.

"Alright why don't you introduce yourselves," Kakashi said to team seven.

"Um sensei why don't you go first and show us how it's done," Naruto replied.

"Okay my name is Kakashi Hatake my likes and hobbies are none of your business, my dislikes are also none of your business, and as for my dreams well there none of your business as well." Kakashi said with an eye smile as he motioned to Sasuke and said, "You go next Mr. broody."

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I don't really like anything and my hobby is training. As for my dislikes I hate those who get in my way," he said before announcing dramatically, "And my dream is to kill a certain someone."

"Okay Mr. Crazy your next girly," Kakashi said while pointing at Ino.

"I'm Ino Yamanaka my likes are gossip and my best friend Sakura," she said cheerfully before pausing as if she just remembered something and looked down saddened before continuing. "My dislikes are the person who hurt me and killed Sakura, as for my dreams well I want to find jigsaw and find out why he's hurting people."

"That's nice well you're up last Blondie," Kakashi said to Naruto.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki my likes are Ramen, training, and hanging out with Jiji, my dislikes are hateful people, arrogant people, and those that judge others before getting to know them." Naruto called out cheerfully. "As for my dream well I want to become the greatest hokage to ever exist."

"Alright now that that's over I suppose I should tell you that you're not officially ninja yet,' Kakashi said surprising Naruto and the others.

"What! What do you mean?" Naruto yelled out in anger.

"Yeah what are you talking about?" Ino asked before saying, "If we aren't ninja yet then what was the point of graduating from the academy?"

"Well that was to see if you had what it takes to become a ninja, the test that you will do tomorrow will tell me if you are truly ready to become a genin or not." Kakashi explained getting frowns from Naruto, Ino, and Sasuke. Seeing that they understood what he was saying he continued by saying, "Now meet me at training ground seven tomorrow morning at eight oclock and we'll perform your final test."

"Alright sensei," Naruto, Ino, and Sasuke replied as they got up to leave.

"Oh and make sure you skip breakfast tomorrow otherwise you'll throw up," Kakashi said spooking his students as he vanished in a puff of smoke.

Turning to his teammates Naruto got there attention and asked, "Hey Sasuke, Ino do you two want to go and get something to eat so we can get to know each other?"

"Sure Naruto," Ino replied with a small smile.

"No thanks loser I have better things to do then hang out with you and that weakling," Sasuke rudely said as he walked away.

"What a jerk," Naruto muttered as he turned to see Ino with tears in her eyes. Putting a hand on her shoulders he asked softly, "Hey what's wrong Ino?"

Bursting out in tears Ino threw herself into Naruto's chest and replied while sobbing, "He's right I am weak if I was stronger then I wouldn't have gotten captured by jigsaw and lost my eye."

"Hey now getting caught by jigsaw doesn't make you weak," Naruto told her trying to reassure her. "I heard from Hokage-jiji that one of his best ninja's was captured and killed in one of jigsaw's traps. If a jounin ninja was caught then there is no way that a fresh out of the academy ninja could have escaped from him."

"Really?" asked Ino looking up to Naruto with tears in her eyes.

"Yes really," he replied getting a small smile from her. Wiping tears out of her eyes Naruto said, "Now stop crying and let's go get something to eat."

"Okay let's go," she replied as she grabbed him by the hand and dragged him down the street.

"Hey wait slow down," he called out trying to keep up with Ino.
